Putting security awareness to the test
The Kantonsspital Aarau, or KSA for short,is the largest hospital in the canton of Aargau, with over 30 treatment and diagnostic centers, around 4,600 employees and over 28,000 inpatients. A package of various measures has proven effective against phishing attacks:

For support with these measures, the KSA turned to terreActive.
With its 25 years of experience in cyber security, the company was the perfect partner for this task. terreActive conducted a phishing simulation and awareness training for the KSA.
